The “Phelps Garden Planter” would provide an alternative, aesthetic method of growing or presenting plants. The invention would allow for growth in a limited space, such as a balcony or porch. The planter could enhance the décor by being aesthetically pleasing, and is lightweight, durable and easy to use. When not in use, the Phelps Garden Planter could be easily cleaned and stored.

The cylindrical unit would feature three detachable, interchangeable sections measuring approximately 10-inches high. The exterior of each section would resemble the look of tree bark. Interlocking pieces allow each section to be stacked and locked with one another. A water-fill port, irrigation pipe, side holes with planting ports and a perforated base with water drain are featured in each section. A water feeding tube would branch out from the center into each planting port to ensure that each port is being adequately watered. A swiveling Lazy-Susan base with optional caster wheels would also be included to promote portability. To use, the individual would fill each section with soil, plant the desired plants and lock the sections together. The user would then pour water into the filling port so that the water trickles down to each section and the plants could grow vertically out of the side holes.

“Since we love gardening so much, we try to be creative in our methods of both growing and presenting plants, so we designed a vertically-oriented planter,” said one inventor.
